A collection of photographs, which offers an original explanation of the mechanics of evolution.

Spectacular, mysterious, elegant and disturbing - the compelling beauty of vertebrate skeletons is revealed as never before in this astonishing collection of photographs, which offers an original explanation of the mechanics of evolution. By observing these bones we come to understand the evolutionary relationship between animals and also retrace our own history.

Jean-Baptiste de Panafieu is a Professor of Natural Sciences and a Doctor of Biological Oceanography. Patrick Gries is a photographer. Among his most notable projects is his collaboration with the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain in Paris.
